S13e5: Natasia Schumacher – Life in Its Magnitude, in Seven Days

“The experience of the Process was life in full, in its magnitude, in seven days.” – Natasia Schumacher

Professional Certified Coach, Certified Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, and athlete Natasia Schumacher arrived at White Sulphur Springs to take the Hoffman Process in 2018. She says, “I didn’t choose the Process; it chose me.”

As Natasia poured over her Process homework, this question stopped her: “What is your relationship to spirituality?” Eight years ago, she had no idea what spirituality or spirit meant. Her response to the question? “None.” Looking back, Natasia saw that this was the first indicator of where the Process would lead her.

In Natasia’s Process, she had a profound realization that who she thought she was has never been who she is. Her visceral experience of the Process felt like a turbulent storm: deeply uncomfortable, confronting, and exhausting, while also deeply loving. Natasia shares stories of the profound emotional, intellectual, somatic, and spiritual insights, epiphanies, and transformation during and after her Process.

Many grads discover after the Process that even though they have changed, the people in their lives have not. For Natasia, this dynamic provided more opportunities to release patterns and deepen her sense of who she really is. She describes how she navigated this change with both her husband and mother. Natasia’s ability to articulate what happened is insightful and helpful information. She also found, post-Process, that she needed to connect with the parts of her who weren’t sober. Today, she has been sober for many years.

Natasia speaks of and lives with love and reverence for her true self, her Spirit. As she says, her Spirit “is me.” We hope this articulate, insightful, deeply spiritual conversation inspires you.
